Secondary there is provided some benefits, for example allow patient to recover between the course for the treatment of, and enable medical personnel to assess from a course for the treatment of
To another course for the treatment of radiocurable effectiveness and be adjusted, for example so as to adapt to malignant tumor dimensionally with when
Between reduction(Perhaps due to radiocurable effectiveness).
In intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)In, control radiation beam is so that radiological dose is delivered to malignant tissue, same
When limit surrounding health tissue, may particularly be particularly vulnerable to so-called " key " organ of radiological detriment, radiation exposure.
IMRT can use various radiation beams to modulate instrument, such as multi-blade collimator(MLC)Device, in polarizers of big angle scope(Up to
360°)The upper tomography track radioactive source that irradiation is provided, etc..
However, the difficulty in fractionated radiation is, the position of tumor and peripheral organs or tissue, size, orientation and

The CT scanner of the system integration is treated obtaining)And/or such as positron emission computerized tomography(PET)Or single photon emission computed
Tomoscan(SPECT)The transmitting image of image.The transmitting image of such as PET or SPECT images advantageously tends to provide work(
Can information and be capable of identify that necrosis tissue, the tissue with high density microvasculature, etc..
During typical gradation IMRT, original plan image by manually or semi-automatically segmentation so as to describe using as
The malignant tumor of the target of irradiation and its irradiation should confined any surrounding key structures.These features by profile come
Describe.Planning chart picture is also used for generating radiation damping figure.In the case of CT planning chart pictures, this needs adjustment is substantially in CT
The CT images of the decay pattern of the x-ray used in imaging, so as to the difference in the energy of consideration radiation therapy beam.
Hereinafter, in order to consider change over time, obtain and process image.Process image and planning chart picture spatially by
Registration.For IMRT, typically with non-rigid spatial registration, to accurately account for than simple rigid translation or to rotate more multiple
Miscellaneous change.Tumor and key structure in image is processed by outline, and by thus the profile that produces and planning chart as
Profile is compared, to recognize any change.
Outline process is intensive manually, and potentially tends to personal error.Can be with non-rigid registration
Deformation vector field(DVF)Based on by be intended to image outline be adjusted to process image come partly automatization's outline.So
And, thus the profile for producing sometimes and is insufficient to accurately, and may require that manual correction.And, generally profile is not traveled to
All aspects of radiotherapy treatment planning.For example, profile is typically not used for correcting radiation damping figure or is not used in calculating dosage
Accumulation, etc..
Hereafter envision the improved apparatus and method for overcoming aforementioned restriction and other restrictions.

Specific embodiment
With reference to Fig. 1, illustrative intensity modulated radiation therapy is described(IMRT)System.Intensity modulated radiation therapy is performed
For fractionated radiation, i.e. be performed in a series of radiation therapy sessions.Before radiotherapy begins, object is obtained(Example
Such as, tumor patient, stand the radiocurable animal of veterinary, etc.)Planning chart picture.Planning chart picture is typically transmission-type and calculates
Machine tomoscan(CT)Image, although planning chart picture can pass through such as magnetic resonance(MR)Another image mode, such as positive electricity
Sub- emission computed tomography(PET)Or single photon emission computerized tomography,SPECT(SPECT)Transmitting mode etc. obtaining.And
And, it should be appreciated that planning chart picture may need to obtain volume(3D)Image, the common row's plane for limiting volumetric image(2D)Figure
As etc., and planning chart picture can use two or more different image modes.As the example of last case, at some
In radiotherapy workflow, it is possible to use(i)Obtain anatomic information CT and(ii)Obtain function information such as PET or
The transmitting mode of SPECT carrys out implement plan imaging.In some medical institutions, it is intended to image and is stored in picture archive and communication
System(PACS)In 10, planning chart picture can be by the authorized of such as oncologist, radiologist, the private doctor of patient etc.
Medical worker conduct interviews from the picture archive and communication system 10.
Planning chart picture is typically analyzed by oncologist or other qualified medical workers, so as to plan radiation treatment side
Case.In typical planning process, oncologist or other qualified medical workers on one or more planning chart pictures or
Person manually draws profile in one or more planning chart pictures.These profiles describe malignant tumor(Or more generally, will
It is the malignant tissue of radiocurable target), and typically also describe as easily by the sizable damage from radiation exposure
One or more " key " structures of harmful organ, tissue etc..Typically, the target of IMRT is to refer at least to fixed radiological agent
Amount is delivered to target tumor or tissue, while keeping the radiation exposure of key structure less than the maximum allowable level that specifies.By this
A little profiles are collectively stored in PACS10 with planning chart picture.
Radiotherapy treatment planning is based on such as following information:Describe the profile of tumor and key structure;Tumor(Generally
It is minimum dose threshold value)And key structure(Typically maximum allowable exposure)Radiological dose threshold value;And the radiation of object declines
Subtract figure.The latter is typically generated according to planning chart picture.For example, if planning chart seems CT images, can pass through to adjust CT figures
X-ray of the pad value of picture so as to consideration used in CT imagings is radiated and the photon between the radiation used in radiotherapy
The difference of energy is generating decay pattern.These different inputs are used for determining that being used for operation radiation during radiation therapy session to control
Treat one group of parameter of delivery system.The parameter can include multi-blade collimator(MLC)Device is arranged, tomography radioactive source
Rotary speed and/or track, total beam power etc..Using automatic(Or " reverse ")Planning process is each of gradation IMRT
Individual radiation therapy session determines the various parameters of the radiation treatment delivery system of the dose threshold value for meeting tumor and critical organ
Arrange or other values.
Planning process may take an undesirably long time.Planning chart picture typically obtained with high-resolution, and can be with
Outline is executed in each section of row section, dimensionally to describe tumor and key structure.Right for being included in
Hundreds of or thousands of MLC elements and/or one group of tomography as surrounding(360°)The radiotherapy delivering system of the complexity for attempting
System, backward scheduling be complicated and may spend a considerable amount of calculating time, although the backward scheduling by computer or its
Its electronic processing equipment is executed.As a result, some times typically before the first radiation therapy session starts(For example, several
Hour, several days or longer time)Obtain planning chart picture.In this interim, it may occur that change, such as due to object in
The expansion of airbag, contraction, formed or dissolving caused by organ movement, the change of patient weight, the growth of malignant tumor or receipts
Contracting etc..
Therefore, with continued reference to Fig. 1, the short time that image-taking system 12 was used for before radiation therapy session starts is processed
The interior process image 14 for obtaining object.Process image-taking system 12 and be typically CT image scanning instrument, although it is also contemplated that
MR or another image modes.In order to assess the change having had occurred and that since radiotherapy treatment planning is executed, image 14 will be processed
With the corresponding planning chart that fetches from PACS10 as 16 is spatially registering.
In an illustrative embodiment, spatial registration is matched somebody with somebody using such as Demons deformables by deformable image registration module 20
Another deformable image registration technology of the deformable image registration algorithm of quasi- technology or such as level set, B- battens etc.
To execute.The output of deformable image registration is that relatively spatially registering planning chart as 16 and processes the deformation arrow of image 14
Amount field(DVF)22.DVF22 other similar titles in the art also by such as displacement field are by, it is known that and as herein
Use, term " deformation vector field " or DVF are intended to include the title that these are different.DVF22 passes through for the picture of an image
Element or the conversion of voxel designated displacement(Including distance and direction)To carry out relatively spatially registering meter with the second image alignment
Draw image and process image.DVF22 indicate shift transformation so as to make planning chart picture with process image alignment, or indicate displacement become
Change so as to make process image with plan image alignment.As pixel or voxel shift transformation can change between images to carry
For non-rigid deformation, non-rigid deformation is therefore obtained(Or non-rigid spatial registration or similar term).DVF22 is by an image
(For example, planning chart picture)It is mapped to another image(For example, image is processed).It will be appreciated, however, that can also be logical using DVF22
Cross the appropriate reversion of pixel or voxel vector to execute the mapping on rightabout(For example, conversion process image so as to
Plan image alignment).Thus, in general, DVF22 spatially maps the first image(For example, planning chart is as 16)With second
Image(For example, image 14 is processed).
DVF22 can be used in updating radiotherapy treatment planning parameter.For example, DVF22 can be used in making dosage deviate and/or make
Decay pattern deviates, so as to the change of the consideration such as movement of tumor and/or various critical organs, contraction or expansion.
Additionally, DVF22 can be used in adjustment with planning chart as the 16 plan image outlines 26 being associated.(For example, it is possible to will
Planning chart together with profile 26 and such as obtains the other metadatas storage of time, imaging parameters etc. in FIG by surrounding as 16
In the file 28 that the dotted line frame diagram method of part 16,26 is referred to.In some appropriate embodiments, profile 26 is by oncologist
Manually outlining 26 is generating.It is alternatively possible to pass through automatic outline algorithm(For example, semi-automatic outline)Come
Help planning chart as 16 outline.
Outline is generally difficult to, because the border of different soft tissue organs is likely difficult to by housebroken observer or logical
Cross automatic segmentation algorithm to detect.In CT scan, the soft tissue contrast of difference increased difficulty.During initial radiotherapy plan,
Oncologist or other medical workers execute the plodding task of the profile for drawing tumor and key structure in planning chart picture.
Preferably, it is to avoid dull as repeating when new process image is obtained to track the change in patient's body every time.
It is that application plan profile 26 is specifically excellent as patient for simplifying a kind of scheme of the outline for processing image 14
First consider, and using DVF22 come by from planning chart as 16 plan image outline 26 be mapped to process image 14.This side
Case is known as region of interest in the art(ROI)Deviate or propagate.The profile of deviation is provided and processes target tumor in image 14
With the automatic description of key structure, and plodding manual outline is not executed.
However, this scheme introduces sizable risk, because any mapping error in DVF22(Which can be such as
By the gross distortion for being difficult to Precision Mapping or by image artifacts or by the feature occurred in only one image, in planning chart
Difference of contrast agent distribution between picture and process image etc. causes).In DVF22 experience mapping profile near any
Error will be transmitted in the profile of deviation.Because these profiles are used for such as defining with malignant tumor as target while substantially
Patient-the key operation of the radiation dose distribution of key structure is avoided, therefore any profile errors are for the object of experience IMRT
There can be quite unfavorable result.
A kind of mode for solving the error in profile mapping is to allow user(For example, oncologist or radiologist)Viewing
The profile processed on image 14 is superimposed upon, and if it is observed that error, then manually compiled using mouse or other input equipments
Collect the profile.However, this scheme only corrects DVF22 of the profile not as the source of error profile.This is probably a problem,
Because such as decay pattern, dose accumulation figure etc. more radiocurable in terms of directly depend on DVF22 rather than profile.
In embodiment disclosed herein, user's correction of improvement is provided by profile/DVF correction modules 30, and the profile/
DVF correction modules 30 allow users to correct profile and also any such correction are propagated back in DVF22, to create
